Lyrics

Guantanamera
Guajira guantanamera
Guantanamera
Guajira guantanamera
Yo soy un hombre sincero
De donde crece la palma
Yo soy un hombre sincero
De donde crece la palma
Antes de morirme quiero
Echar mis versos del alma
Guantanamera
Guajira guantanamera
Guantanamera
Guajira guantanamera
Mi verso es de un verde claro
Y de un carmín encendido
Mi verso es de un verde claro
Y de un carmín encendido
Mi verso es un ciervo que herido
Que busca en el monte amparo
The words mean: I am a truthful man from the land of the palm trees
And before dying, I want to share these poems of my soul
My poems are soft green
My poems are also flaming crimson
My poems are like a wounded fawn seeking refuge in the forest
The last verse says “Con los pobres de la Tierra”
With the poor people of this Earth I want to share my fate
The streams of the mountains please me more than the sea
Guantanamera
Guajira guantanamera
Guantanamera
Guajira guantanamera
Guantanamera
Guajira guantanamera
Guantanamera
Guajira guantanamera
Guantanamera
Guajira
